I’ve been wanting to learn a winter sport in order to take full advantage of all the snow that keeps coming. Last week, I finally got my chance when Joe and I went cross-country skiing for the first time. It was all about learning to glide, trudge up the hills, and falling down the hills. That’s what I did most of the time. Joe showed much more finesse on the hills. Our instructor didn’t say much about my obvious lack of co-ordination. He would just give me looks of pity and ask if I’d gotten the hang of it yet. Also, he had snot dripping off his nose that I think he was slurping up. I’m happy to say that I now know how to safely fall and pull myself back up for more. I hope to try at least once more this season!
